3:06 No. the AK47 and the STG44 have completely different operating mechanisms. The AK uses a rotating bolt with a long stroke gas piston and the STG uses a tilting bolt with a short stroke gas piston. Just looking at them they do look similar but when you take a closer look at how they work they are very different.
chrismc410 Your thinking of the Gerat 06. It was developed late in WWII as a cheaper, easier to make alternative to the STG. If i remember right, after the war the people that came up with the idea for the roller lock system moved to Spain and improved it into what became known as the cetme and later the G3. If you are interested there is a good video on the subject posted by Forgotten Weapons.
@That Was ZOOM Not only is printed info and videos readily available but semi-auto versions are commercially available in many countries. Hell, if you're lucky [?] enough to live in Ethiopia they don't restrict private ownership of automatic weapons.
My eye violently twitched when I heard his pronunciation. Even more when he said the design was copied by the soviets. The outside may look similar, but the guts inside are completely different. Simple case of designers thinking the same thing when it came to the overall shape.
There is one in Legends. I don't know what it's called or where it appeared though. A simple google image search of Star Wars P90 blaster should show you what it might look like.
Being a WW2 and Star Wars enthusiast I couldn't help but notice that Jyn Urso's blaster pistol in Rogue One is based on the Luger P08, the successor to the Mauser C96 (DL44), most noticeable by a few good shots of the toggle-lock and magazine.
I'm proud of the fact that I recognized most weapons from the films without watching your videos. Also, I agree with your opinion on modern star Wars weapon props. They look too plasticky to me.
cosmicaverage they're not other than concept. How the StG and the AK function. are totally different. The StG-44 is a roller locked, recoil operated delayed blowback design. The AK is a piston driven, gas operated design. The two couldn't be any more different.
Hope Is Key Mikhail Kalashnikov wasn't old at the time he came up with the AK. He was about 28 when it was introduced in 1947. The third grade education part, I don't know for sure but what is known for sure, he did later get a doctorate, got promoted to Lieutenant General one of the highest ranks one can get in most armies, won the award of Hero of the Russian Federation, the highest award one can get in Russia. He even had his own line of vodka being sold before he died. Not bad for a farmer.
I totally agree, I don't quite understand why the modified versions of existing firearms look better and more realistic? The Mandalorian is doing an amazing job with its small arms by following the same formula of modifying real life firearms.
Steve Smith yeah, they took the idea because they were still using bolt action weapons for most of their military where the Germans were moving into full autos as the mainly issued weapon later in the war.
The Germans were never able to fully issue automatic weapons. The mostly had the K98 rifle and some G43 and STGs while the russians moved to semi auto rifles early on with the SVT 36 and 40
Also the First Order standard issue pistol is based off the the German standard issue pistol for both world wars, the P08/Luger. Even the cocking design is the same! Keep up the great work
One saving grace of using an existing firearm for a blaster conversion was Jyn Erso's A180, it was a Lugar P08, and I have to say it's become one of my favorite blasters; it has the similar look of Leia's X30 Defender Blaster and Ray's NN-14 barrel, best of both worlds...Just a thought :-P
If you are wondering what the know at the base of the grenade launcher cup on the Jawa rifle is, it controls how much blast power would push the grenade during WW1.
Leia's pistol in IV and VI was both based on the Vostok Margolin. In IV, it had a longer barrel wrapped with insulated wire. It was described as the DDC Defender. The VI weapon was called a SoroSuub X-30. Also the rifle used by rebels in Jedi was listed as an A295 and based on the AR-15.
With the DH-17, you’re not far off. It is a British sub gun, but its actually a prototype that was used in trials in the late 40’s. There aren’t many names out there that i have found, and most of what i have seen refers to this weapon as a BSA, or Birmingham Small Arms, as that was the company that produced it.
The Jawa Ion Blaster reminds me a lot more of the De Lisle Carbine, basically a bolt-action rifle with a huge inbuilt suppressor, and the Rebel's LT20A reminds me waaay more of the German MG42.
The best thing about star wars weaponry is that they look like actual weapons. In most sci-fi, weapons are shiny and spotless objects that vaguely resemble guns. Weapons in star wars look like guns; they have clear barrels, they have sights and scopes, they have dents and scratches, and their overall shape looks like something designed to propel something out of the barrel by pulling the trigger. The fact that they're based on real guns makes them extremely believable.
Thanks for the video my man. Good to know the writers and prop makers stuck to a conventional time period to make their guns. Works a lot better I agree then the makeshift play model guns.
If you would like to know more about any of these guns, I highly recommend the channel forgotten weapons. Ian reviews rare guns prototypes and historically significant firearms
I love the logic of the “history and gun experts” that say that the ak is a complete ripoff of the stg.The ak has indeed some similarities,but if both taken apart (ak and stg) you would see some very big differences.Also,great pronounciation of Sturmgewehr
I'm pretty sure they mainly mean visually. Sure plenty of people think the stg and ak are the same, although internally they aren't. But visually they look very similar. Pretty sure they both fire a 7.62mm variant though i could be wrong. I think I read somewhere the stg 44 fires a 7.92 but idk. Anyway visually they look extremely alike so I can see where the misconception comes from.
The AK47 is definitely not an AK copy. To start, they run on completely different operating principles, the Sturmgewehr 44 has tilting bolt mechanism, while the AK47 is long recoil rotating bolt operated most similar mechanically to the M1 Garand. That being while AK47 development started before large numbers of StG44 had been captured, it is rather plain that the Soviets did at least take inspiration from ergonomics and stamped and spot welded sheet metal construction which subsequently incorporated into the design of the AK, and I don't care how many time Mikhail Kalashnikov swears up and down that the StG44 had no influence on the AK-47 design.
The RT-97c is a Star Wars weapon based off the WW1 German MG15 And the Smart Rocket is based off the Modern American(?) SMAW Rocket launcher. Plz add these in your next Star Wars blasters in real live vid. Keep up the great work!
The Ak-47 and M1 Garand (so therefore the M-14) both have a gas-operated rotating bolt while the Stg-44 used the gas-operated tilting bolt. No one copied anyone. The Stg-44 came into service when Mikhail Kalashnikov was recovering from wounds in a hospital. He never saw one while designing the Ak-47. The M-14 was basically a Garand with a detachable box magazine.
The M14 IS an updated M1 Garand. The military slapped a detachable magazine on it, gave it a flash hider, and lengthened the barrel just a hair and made it fully automatic.
I want to add that Princes Amidala's blaster is a kitchen lighter, The CR-2 Blaster is a calico handgun and the S-5 blaster from naboo's guards is a competition pistol among others :)
Would it be possible if you could do a video on the modified DH-17 blaster pistol with an enlarged sensor scope/scanner/two light meters taped together, used by Osleo Prennert (That One Rebel Guy You Briefly See On Yavin IV) also, do a video on the Rebel Sentry, personnel who monitored incoming and departing starships, and the Recon-Towers that were set up to watch over the jungle and Massassi temples: thank you.
Compared to the Borchardt C-93 the C96 was simplicity itself. It made Semi Automatic pistols really feasible on an industrial scale. Four years late, the FN 1900 made them simpler still and affordable to the masses
6:27 It also meant that they could fire blank from the weapons while film which made the firing seem more real than if they just superimposed a red line and added a sound effect. If you pay attention to the film you can see a small flash and puff or smoke each time they fire off a round. I believe that was probably their intention, not the budget.
A Hi Point, especially the compensated models would make good blaster pistols. Kind of already look like them. The Grendel P30 would too, as would the DC9/TEC-9 and their variants
OK, I just double checked on Wookipeedia for what the shorter one she used on Endor was called. Even though it is based on the same real-life gun, the "Endor blaster" was called a SoroSub X-30. The longer barreled one used on the Tantive IV scene was definitely called a DDC Defender. Yay! We're all smart!
The original lightsabers were the flash attachment handles for antique cameras and the Jedi communicators like the one used in episode 1 by Quigon was a women's leg razor. Star wars has a rich history of creative prop conglomerations.
He did say the Rebel Alliance and some other facts. Boba Fett was a bounty hunter, who while took jobs from the Empire, was not an Imperial soldier. Also the jawas and tusken raiders are not aligned with either the Empire or Rebellion.
Soviets did not use STG to create Ak but they used planes for Panzerfaust 250 (only plans Germans did make them) to make RPG. But Czechoslovaks made SA 58 assault rifle from STG. STG does not have any part similar with ak and its mechanisms work completely different from those in Ak(mechanism in AK are easier to break and works slower that's why SA58 has a higher fire rate and bigger accuracy).
There are a few similar parts with the AK and StG. The mechanism that used gas to reciprocate the bolt was very similar. And the intermediate cartridge as well.
The Prop dept made weapons lend a sense that they are actually new weapons, custom made, or stupidly expensive. But the more crude... realistic weapons still are a hallmark of Star Wars and I would not change that. There is just room for more styles of weapons.
Just a tip, put little accents and shit over words like; wars, blasters, and rebels. the UA-cam adblock thing is fooled by something even a rudimentary spam detector can catch
+Botchamania JEEZUS it's gotten to the point that they can listen to what I'm saying make it into a transcript and pick out words they don't like it's crazy
Generation Tech darn, I thought it would work cause some other channels I tune into make it work. Unless I'm just done and PragerU is specifically giving me ads, lol. Anyways, keep up the good videos
I like this guy. Like me, he is both a Star Wars and WWII Know-it-all. When I say "know-it-all" I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, i'm just referring to him as knowing alot about both topics.
God UA-cam is stupid that they go so far as to "censor" Star Wars weapons videos. They may not even know the extent to which their ad system effects people. Or maybe they just don't care.
There is one that is pretty much exactly an MG34. I'm not all the way through so you may have covered it, but so far I haven't seen it. One of the storm troopers on Tattooine is carrying it when Luke, Obi Wan, and Han are leaving to go to the Millennium Falcon.
The Sterling was designed in 1942 by George Patchett, originally called the "Patchett Machine Carbine", it was intended to replace the STEN, and was designed for use by Paratroopers. One such example was reportably used around the time of Market Garden, although the weapon didn't officially enter service until 1953, under the designation "L2A1". The "M4" didn't exist until the 1990's. The A280 was built up using an AR15 receiver. Which is NOT a civilian version of the "M4", as the AR15 was designed by Eugene Stoner and entered production in 1963. "M4" is the U.S Army designation for the M16A2 based carbine, which was designed to replace the XM16E1 and M16A1 derived XM177 "Colt Commando". "AR15" is the original designation for the 5.56 Armalite Rifle. The Jawa rifle was not made by the production company, they are real. They were made during the war by the British from cut down SMLE NO.1 MKIII rifles, and fitted to vehicles as smoke dischargers.
The STG-44 was actually based off the M1 Garand, its not the physical look but the internal components. The gas block piston, the receiver and the locking bolt on the AK were taken from the M1 Garand. Now the HK Gewehr 3 (G3) is directly based off the STG-43, especially in the trigger grouping and receiver area.
3:13 No, you are wrong. Though both do look similar, Kalashnikov's AK-design is much more different than the StG44. They both have completely different internal components, the StG44 was more Delicate, while the AK-47 is more Robust and have much more higher tolerances than the StG44, and it's also relatively simple to clean and repair, plus it's much more cheaper than an StG44.
5 years into the future of this video, Alan would bring up the minimally modified underfolding Kalashnikov (AK) rifles in Andor used by the rebel group.
The ak-47 uses a rotating bolt ripped from the m1 Garand(and m14), the STG uses a tilting bolt to lock and they are completely different. I know someone's probably pointed this out already but w/e.
starwars guns are good bc they put a twist on some of the most recognisable guns of history. i think thats a large part of what makes starwars so special and unique, like he said the new weaponry we see looks like it could have came from any sci-fi movie....
I find it a little ironic that the rebels get a lot of ww1-ww2 german based weapons and the empire gets a lot of ww1-ww2 british based weapons
Commander Prophet The Storm trooper heavy blaster rifle was based off an MG42 and the rebels also used some British and American based weapons
British empire-The empire, Germans were not that much imperialistic.
Ya they were if you conquer other people you are an empire.
Pavel C Trying to conquer Europe seems pretty imperialistic to me
+Corn Marketman Not when that empire committed genocide.
3:06 No. the AK47 and the STG44 have completely different operating mechanisms.

Patrick Wipf I thought StG-44s were roller locked, delayed blowback, not gas operated

If you are interested there is a good video on the subject posted by Forgotten Weapons.
Patrick Wipf Yeah if anything the AR platform is more directly related to the stg with it's breakdown procedure and receiver portions.
+That Was ZOOM literature on the AK platform is readily accessable and common.
@That Was ZOOM

Sturmgewher is pronounced sturm-gev-air, got a tad bit triggered, W in german is pronounced V
And sturm means assault and gewehr rifle it is easy to gain those information eaven google translate (which is mostly rubbish) does this thing right.

Jyn Erso's pistol, the A180, is based off of the P08 Luger. It's practically identical to it's counterpart, aside from a heavily modified barrel.
modified action as well
Luger 4 life
I'd love to see what a P90 would look like in Star Wars!
There is one in Legends. I don't know what it's called or where it appeared though. A simple google image search of Star Wars P90 blaster should show you what it might look like.
The P90 is a bit too modern for Star Wars.
how so?
yeah It's too modern to fire glowing plasma bolts...
@@gustavferreira8179 Wookiepedia says it's literally called the FN P90. The same as the real gun.

Its pronounced shturm guh-vair and the stg44 is vastly diferent from the ak it is a common misconception that they are connected.
cosmicaverage
There are connected, same type of gun and influenced a lot of later guns including FN FAL.
cosmicaverage they're not other than concept. How the StG and the AK function. are totally different. The StG-44 is a roller locked, recoil operated delayed blowback design. The AK is a piston driven, gas operated design. The two couldn't be any more different.

Cpt. Steed no it really. Is a copy, go watch one of Ahoys videos
No, it wasn't. Kalashnikov, the man that developed the AK, never held a STG, it was by dumb coincidence that the two look alike.
The Russians copied the concept of an Assault rifle from the German STG, not the rifle

How would you know

6:34 Actually Baze Malbus' Blaster might be based on the m60 machine gun from vietnam

Soviets did not copy the STG-44, internally its closer to a M-14 than a AK-47
The M14 didn’t exist in 1947, when the AK47 was released. The M14 copied the AK, which copied the STG.
How could they copy a non-existent gun?
The Ak-47 and M1 Garand (so therefore the M-14) both have a gas-operated rotating bolt while the Stg-44 used the gas-operated tilting bolt. No one copied anyone. The Stg-44 came into service when Mikhail Kalashnikov was recovering from wounds in a hospital. He never saw one while designing the Ak-47. The M-14 was basically a Garand with a detachable box magazine.
U high or ignorant, there are so many things wrong with your statement.
The M14 IS an updated M1 Garand. The military slapped a detachable magazine on it, gave it a flash hider, and lengthened the barrel just a hair and made it fully automatic.

well the creator of the STG-44 was forced to design a weapon that shot 7.62x39 ammo and looked like the STG-44
Um the STG-44 was made before the Ak 47.........................
I meant to type STG-44
Joe Kerr that doesnt mean the Ak is a copy.

A Hi Point, especially the compensated models would make good blaster pistols. Kind of already look like them. The Grendel P30 would too, as would the DC9/TEC-9 and their variants
Princess Leia's blaster when you first see her shoot a stormtrooper is called a DDC Defender, not what you said.
Yeah, he was thinking of the shorter blaster she uses in Return of the Jedi, which is what he shows in the black background picture.
Even then, that was still the same DCC defender with the long end attachment removed.
OK, I just double checked on Wookipeedia for what the shorter one she used on Endor was called. Even though it is based on the same real-life gun, the "Endor blaster" was called a SoroSub X-30. The longer barreled one used on the Tantive IV scene was definitely called a DDC Defender.
Yay! We're all smart!
The original lightsabers were the flash attachment handles for antique cameras and the Jedi communicators like the one used in episode 1 by Quigon was a women's leg razor. Star wars has a rich history of creative prop conglomerations.
When will the republic vs earth come out?
Mic Clank
Never.
Mic Clank you weren't paying attention to the videos didn't ya??
i like how in the new trilogy they use more modern weapons as props like the glock and g36
How does Boba Fett fit into the Rebel Alliance?
Same way IG-88 does
they were another force other than the Empire...
but... but.. that could be another video... or something. And there were few bounty hunters or mercenaries hired by the Alliance.
He did say the Rebel Alliance and some other facts. Boba Fett was a bounty hunter, who while took jobs from the Empire, was not an Imperial soldier. Also the jawas and tusken raiders are not aligned with either the Empire or Rebellion.
FirePenguin99 I'm kinda curious about that myself
Dude, great part about the jawas ,being thiving lil bastards!!!!! Your best work yet, well done sir
Soviets did not use STG to create Ak but they used planes for Panzerfaust 250 (only plans Germans did make them) to make RPG. But Czechoslovaks made SA 58 assault rifle from STG. STG does not have any part similar with ak and its mechanisms work completely different from those in Ak(mechanism in AK are easier to break and works slower that's why SA58 has a higher fire rate and bigger accuracy).
There are a few similar parts with the AK and StG. The mechanism that used gas to reciprocate the bolt was very similar. And the intermediate cartridge as well.
Also, the SA 58 is a variant of the FAL, not of the StG-44
The appearance was adopted and used for the M43 intermediate round they developed some time before
No it it is not.
The way that mechanism works is difirent but looks similar.
Oh man! That slight pause after "uniquely designed barrel" EPICLOLZ
Do these jawas live in government housing complexes?
This made my day
The Prop dept made weapons lend a sense that they are actually new weapons, custom made, or stupidly expensive. But the more crude... realistic weapons still are a hallmark of Star Wars and I would not change that. There is just room for more styles of weapons.
6:35 it actualay looks like g11
I would expected to see Jyn's blaster pistol to be on here. It reminds me of the Luger, only with a thicker barrel.
what about chewies??
GALAXIE 67 basicly a modified crossbow
이민형 lol its still called a crossbow in film too
Duncan McGee It's called a bow caster.
Sturmgewehr: *Exists*
This dude: "Storm guyer"
Just a tip, put little accents and shit over words like; wars, blasters, and rebels. the UA-cam adblock thing is fooled by something even a rudimentary spam detector can catch
+Botchamania JEEZUS it's gotten to the point that they can listen to what I'm saying make it into a transcript and pick out words they don't like it's crazy
Generation Tech darn, I thought it would work cause some other channels I tune into make it work. Unless I'm just done and PragerU is specifically giving me ads, lol. Anyways, keep up the good videos
I like this guy. Like me, he is both a Star Wars and WWII Know-it-all. When I say "know-it-all" I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, i'm just referring to him as knowing alot about both topics.
God UA-cam is stupid that they go so far as to "censor" Star Wars weapons videos. They may not even know the extent to which their ad system effects people. Or maybe they just don't care.
John Wreed
Lol
They don't.
You are an Awsome Star Wars Fan and do a great job at explains everything from vehicles to weapons. It was cool when you took on Star Trek dude.
Why does this guy most of the time look a bit drunk? Is it just me?
Grizzly Dude C137 I think it's just you.
He uses minoxidil to grow a beard, side effects making your face age faster due to collagen inhibiting qualities
edard stark really
There is one that is pretty much exactly an MG34. I'm not all the way through so you may have covered it, but so far I haven't seen it. One of the storm troopers on Tattooine is carrying it when Luke, Obi Wan, and Han are leaving to go to the Millennium Falcon.
Baze’s blaster is based on the Saiga 12 AK Shotgun...
How many Mausers will you need?
The guy at 3:55 : Yes
The C96 was never "replaced" by the Luger. The Luger was adopted first and the C96 was never truly adopted outside of some Luftwaffe usage.
The Sterling was designed in 1942 by George Patchett, originally called the "Patchett Machine Carbine", it was intended to replace the STEN, and was designed for use by Paratroopers.
One such example was reportably used around the time of Market Garden, although the weapon didn't officially enter service until 1953, under the designation "L2A1".
The "M4" didn't exist until the 1990's.
The A280 was built up using an AR15 receiver. Which is NOT a civilian version of the "M4", as the AR15 was designed by Eugene Stoner and entered production in 1963.
"M4" is the U.S Army designation for the M16A2 based carbine, which was designed to replace the XM16E1 and M16A1 derived XM177 "Colt Commando".
"AR15" is the original designation for the 5.56 Armalite Rifle.
The Jawa rifle was not made by the production company, they are real.
They were made during the war by the British from cut down SMLE NO.1 MKIII rifles, and fitted to vehicles as smoke dischargers.
2 of my favourite things Star Wars and historic weapons
The STG-44 was actually based off the M1 Garand, its not the physical look but the internal components. The gas block piston, the receiver and the locking bolt on the AK were taken from the M1 Garand. Now the HK Gewehr 3 (G3) is directly based off the STG-43, especially in the trigger grouping and receiver area.
Noway, Jango’s guns look like the very rare and sexy Maxim-Silverman pistol
3:13
No, you are wrong.
Though both do look similar, Kalashnikov's AK-design is much more different than the StG44.
They both have completely different internal components, the StG44 was more Delicate, while the AK-47 is more Robust and have much more higher tolerances than the StG44, and it's also relatively simple to clean and repair, plus it's much more cheaper than an StG44.
7:01. I LOVE the sass at the end. Calling out stupidity for what it is. 👍
5 years into the future of this video, Alan would bring up the minimally modified underfolding Kalashnikov (AK) rifles in Andor used by the rebel group.
The ak-47 uses a rotating bolt ripped from the m1 Garand(and m14), the STG uses a tilting bolt to lock and they are completely different. I know someone's probably pointed this out already but w/e.
starwars guns are good bc they put a twist on some of the most recognisable guns of history.
i think thats a large part of what makes starwars so special and unique, like he said the new weaponry we see looks like it could have came from any sci-fi movie....
Id love a video about inspirations for clone armor
